Integrative Gene Regulatory Network Analysis Discloses Key Driver Genes of Fibromuscular Dysplasia in Females: the DEFINE-FMD study

ABSTRACT: Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a poorly understood but relatively common vascular disease affecting 3-5% of adult females. The pathobiology of FMD involves arterial lesions of stenosis, dissection, tortuosity, dilation and aneurysm which can lead to hypertension, stroke, heart attack and even death. While a limited number of gene variants have been associated with FMD, there are no animal models and few insights as to why this disease occurs. By integrating DNA genotype and RNA sequence data from primary fibroblasts of 83 FMD patients and 71 matched healthy controls from the DEFINE-FMD study, we inferred 18 gene co-expression networks, four of which were found to act together as an FMD-associated supernetwork in the arterial wall. After in vivo perturbation of this gene co-expression supernetwork by selective knockout of a top network key driver, mice developed arterial dilation; a hallmark of FMD. Molecular studies indicated that this supernetwork governs multiple aspects of vascular cell physiology and functionality, including collagen/matrix production. Using linkage disequilibrium score regression to determine the genetic contribution to disease, we found that this supernetwork accounts for a significant proportion of FMD heritability (H squared). These studies illuminate the complex causal mechanisms of FMD and suggest a potential therapeutic avenue to address this challenging disease.

Cellular and extracellular proteomic profiling of paradoxical low-flow lowgradient aortic stenosis myocardium

Project description:Aims: Patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), low transvalvular flow (LF) and low gradient (LG) with normal ejection fraction (EF)are referred to as paradoxical LF-LG AS (PLF-LG). PLF-LG patients develop more advanced heart failure symptoms and have a worse prognosis than patients with normal EF and high-gradient AS (NEF-HG). Despite its clinical relevance, the mechanisms underlying PLF-LG are still poorly understood. Methods: Left ventricular (LV) myocardial biopsies of PLF-LG (n=5) and NEF-HG patients (n=6), obtained during transcatheter aortic valve implantation, were analyzed by LC-MS/MS after sequential extraction of cellular and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins using a three-step extraction method.Results: 73 cellular proteins were differentially abundant between the 2 groups. Among these, a network of proteins related to muscle contraction and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (e.g. cTnI, FKBP1A and CACNA2D1) was found in PLF-LG. Extracellularly, upregulated proteins in PLF-LG were related to ATP synthesis and oxidative phosphorylation (e.g. ATP5PF, COX5B and UQCRB). Interestingly, we observed a 1.3-fold increase in cyclophilin A (CyPA), proinflammatory cytokine, in the extracellular extracts of PLF-LG AS patients (p<0.05).LG AS LV sections along with an increase in its receptor, CD147, compared to the NEF-HG AS patients. Levels of core ECM proteins, namely collagens and proteoglycans, were comparable between groups.Our study pinpointed novel candidates and processes with potential relevance in the pathophysiology of PLF-LG. The role of CyPA in particular warrants further investigation.

Human Immunoglobulin Repertoire-Guided Immunogen Design Targeting HIV V2-Apex Broadly Neutralizing Antibody Precursors

Project description:Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) to the HIV envelope (Env) V2-apex region are important leads for HIV vaccine design. Most V2-apex bnAbs engage Env with an uncommonly long heavy chain complementarity-determining region 3 (HCDR3), suggesting that rarity of bnAb precursors poses a challenge for vaccine priming. We created precursor sequence definitions for V2-apex HCDR3-dependent bnAbs and searched for related precursors in human antibody heavy chain ultradeep sequencing data from 14 HIV-unexposed donors. We found potential precursors in a majority of donors for only two long-HCDR3 V2-apex bnAbs, PCT64 and PG9, identifying these bnAbs as priority vaccine targets. We then engineered ApexGT Env trimers that bind inferred germlines for PCT64 and PG9 and have higher affinities for bnAbs; determined cryo-EM structures of ApexGT trimers bound to inferred germline and bnAb forms of PCT64 and PG9; and developed an mRNA-encoded cell-surface trimer for our lead ApexGT candidate. The methods and immunogens developed here have promise to assist the development of an HIV vaccine.

Larval epidermis of the swallowtail butterfly Papilio xuthus

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of larval epidermis at specific markings were examined using 11 developmental stages. Gene expression level was compared between mimetic white, cryptic thorax, and cryptic abdomen vs. mimetic black, cryptic eyespot, and cryptic V-shaped markings in all stages. For initial screening of marking-specific genes, 6 developmental stages for mimetic pattern, and 5 developmental stages for cryptic pattern was used. Mimetic white, cryptic thorax, and cryptic abdomen were independently labelled with Cyanine 3-CTP (Cy3), and mimetic black, cryptic eyespot, and cryptic V-shaped markings were independently labelled with Cyanine 5-CTP (Cy5) in all stages.

HCOV-NL63 spike protein glycopeptides

Project description:HCoV-NL63 is a coronavirus that can cause severe lower respiratory tract infections requiring hospitalization. Of great interest is understanding the HCoV-NL63 coronavirus spike glycoprotein trimer, which is the conformational machine responsible for entry into host cells and the sole target of neutralizing antibodies during infection. We utilized an electron-transfer/higher energy collision dissociation ion fragmentation scheme (Frese, C. K. et al., 2013.) in combination with cryo-electron microscopy to resolve the extensive glycan shield that obstructs the protein surface. These glycans provide a structural framework to understanding the accessibility of the protein to antibodies.

Endothelial YAP/TAZ activation is a key mediator of atherosclerosis in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome

Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is an extremely rare disease caused by the expression of progerin, an aberrant protein produced by a de novo point mutation in the LMNA gene. HGPS patients show accelerated aging and die prematurely, mainly from atherosclerosis complications. Understanding vascular disease onset and progression in HGPS and uncovering new therapeutic targets critically depend on the identification of cell type-specific molecular and functional alterations in the highly heterogeneous cell subsets present in the arterial wall. We used single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize the cellular and molecular landscape of the aorta in progerin-expressing LmnaG609G/G609G mice and wild type controls. Subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness was analyzed in decellularized aortas by atomic force microscopy, and aortic blood flow in vivo was monitored by ultrasound assessment. For atherosclerosis studies, we used progeroid atheroprone Apoe–/– LmnaG609G/G609G mice.

Expression data from mouse aorta during and following transient hyperglycaemia

Project description:Immediate and early effects of transient hyperglycaemia were examined using fully- reversible transgenic diabetic mice. Transient hyperglycaemia altered expression of 769 arterial genes, of which 200 did not reverse following recovery from hyperglycaemia. Many such genes are known to promote atherogenesis, including several implicated in arterial calcification and inflammation. This supports the view that hyperglycaemia causes not only very early deleterious changes in arterial gene expression but that to a large extent these persist for some time after restoration of normal blood glucose levels in vivo. Together, results support the contention that avoiding excess CVD risk in diabetes requires very early correction of hyperglycaemia. As shown previously (Pelengaris et al., 2002 Cell), c-MycERTAM protein is activated in pancreatic beta cells of adult transgenic mice, by daily intraperitoneal (IP) administration of tamoxifen (TAM; Sigma-Aldrich, Dorset, UK) (1 mg/0.2 ml in peanut oil). Inactivation of c-MycERTAM protein was achieved through withdrawal of TAM. Adult female mice, 3-6 months of age, inbred into CBA-C57Bl/6 background and maintained under barrier conditions, were treated with TAM for up to 7 days (Myc ‘ON’) and then monitored during recovery for more than 4 months (140 days) (Myc ‘OFF’). Experimental timepoints were: Days 2, 4 and 7: c-Myc ‘ON’; days 0, 11, 26: c-Myc ‘OFF’. Biological replicates: each timepoint included 3 biological replicates (n=3 mice).

Laser Capture Microdissection of Hyperlipidemic Mouse Aorta Atherosclerosis

Project description:Atherosclerosis is a transmural chronic inflammatory condition of small and large arteries that is associated with adaptive immune responses at all disease stages. However, impacts of adaptive immune reactions on clinically apparent atherosclerosis such as intima lesion (plaque) rupture, thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and aneurysm largely remain to be identified. It is increasingly recognized that leukocyte infiltrates in plaque, media, and adventitia are distinct but their specific roles have not been defined. To map these infiltrates, we employed laser capture microdissection (LCM) to isolate the three arterial wall laminae using apoE-/- mouse aorta as a model. RNA from LCM-separated tissues was extracted and large scale whole genome expression microarrays were prepared. We observed that the quality of the resulting gene expression maps was compromised by tissue RNA carried over from adjacent laminae during LCM. To account for these flaws, we established quality controls and algorithms to improve the predictive power of LCM-derived microarray data. Our approach creates robust transcriptome atlases of normal and atherosclerotic aorta. Assessing LCM transcriptomes for immunity-related mRNAs indicated markedly distinctive gene expression patterns in the three laminae of the atherosclerotic aorta. These mouse mRNA expression data banks can now be mined to address a wide range of questions in cardiovascular biology. Wild-type and apoE-deficient mice on the C57BL/6J genetic background were maintained on a standard mouse chow. Total aortae were removed at the age of 78 weeks, abdominal aorta was separated from the remainder of the tissue and arterial wall laminae were separated by laser capture microdissection as described (Beer et al. 2011). Following RNA quality controls, microarrays were prepared following MIAME guidelines as described previously (Uzonyi et al. 2006; Graebner et al. 2009; Lotzer et al. 2010).
